Look at operating hours, heating and cooling, lighting, hot water, controls and the way energy use changes across the day.
Tell us what you operate and what is driving the bill
An office, a warehouse and a process site do not need the same audit. We start by understanding the site, the decision you need to make and the evidence available. Then we define a useful scope before promising a report.
Service scope reviewed 2 September 2026Travel, measurements, specialist input, deliverables and price are confirmed for the site before work begins.
Who it can suit
Different sites need different questions
Separate base loads from operational loads and check lighting, ventilation, temperature control, building fabric and common equipment.
Agree which motors, pumps, compressors, process heating or production loads belong in the review and whether specialist measurement is needed.
Possible scope
What we can review when it is relevant
- Electricity and gas bills, interval data and operating hours
- Peak demand, load patterns, power factor and network charges
- Heating, cooling, ventilation and control settings
- Lighting, hot water and agreed process heating
- Insulation, glazing, shading and obvious air leakage
- Motors, pumps, compressors and machinery in the agreed scope
- Tariff suitability and current incentive pathways
- Upgrade dependencies, site constraints and missing evidence
The scope comes first
A walkthrough is not automatically a detailed engineering audit. If the decision needs electrical testing, calibrated measurement, design certification or another regulated service, that work must be identified and completed by the right qualified professional.
How it works
A clear path from question to report
Scope the decision
Tell us about the site, the energy problem and what the report needs to support.
Collect the evidence
We agree on bills, interval data, equipment information, plans and site access.
Review the site and data
We examine only the systems and operating patterns included in the written scope.
Explain the priorities
You receive the agreed findings, assumptions, practical actions and important limits.
Deliverable
Useful evidence, not a shopping list
What the report can contain
- Current-use and operating-pattern summary
- Observed issues and missing evidence
- Prioritised operational and upgrade actions
- Indicative savings or payback only where the evidence supports them
- Relevant incentive checks and next professional steps
What we do not assume
- That every site needs the same technology
- That a rebate makes an upgrade worthwhile
- That modelled savings guarantee future bills
- That assessment advice replaces engineering, electrical or compliance work
Independent advice
The assessment is separate from the equipment sale
Australian Energy Assessments does not sell the equipment being assessed or take product commissions for assessment recommendations. We explain the performance needed and the evidence a supplier quote should contain, while you keep control of the purchasing decision.
Questions
Commercial assessment FAQs
Does every commercial assessment include a site visit?
No. The right method depends on the site, the decision you need to make and the evidence already available. We confirm whether the work needs a visit, a data review, specialist measurements or a combination before quoting it.
Can you estimate savings and payback?
Where the data supports it, the report can include indicative savings and payback assumptions. They are not guarantees. Operating hours, production, weather, tariffs and future prices can all change the result.
Do you recommend particular brands?
The assessment is product independent. We focus on the problem, the performance needed and the evidence a quote should contain. A final purchase decision still needs current product, installer, warranty and site checks.
Can you assess industrial process equipment?
Potentially, but only when the equipment, data and required expertise are clear. Motors, compressors, pumps and process loads are included only when they are part of the agreed scope. Specialist engineering or measurement work may be separate.
